Even though there are phones that already out-perform Apple’s latest un-released product, the new iPhone 4S set a sales record with 200,000 pre-orders within the first 12hours of hitting the market….But what is the competition you ask? Take a look at the chart below where we compare the iPhone 4S vs. Samsung Galaxy S II (Android) vs. Motorola Droid Bionic (Android) vs. HTC Titan (Windows). RIM (the makers of Blackberry) are noticeably left out of the chart – as they are still playing catch-up.

maybe by specs but iphone KILLS droid on user-friendliness.
you can have all the specs in the world, but if you don’t have proper integration of software and hardware, you have nothing.
Nobody can compete with the iphone, only .. maybe google now that they bought crappy motorola, hopefully they can revamp the phone and incorporate a better more smooth android software.
